Just rename that zip to .epub and add in the boilerplate META-INF/content.xml and mimetype files and there you go -- an epub from html.

@JSWolf: In fact the above approach can be generalized to *all* ebook formats calibre can handle, including LIT.
And we're still waiting for an editor-building volunteer/donor to show up, is that where we're at?
